symptoms

ET was done this afternoon, doctor transferred 3 embryos back, and we are freezing the remaining 7. They were of 8-cell, not sure what that means, but I think doctor said they were good. As I mentioned earlier about the quality of my hubby's sperms were not so great, ICSI was done to bypass this problem.

Now I am just going to be lazy and take it nice and easy for the next 2 weeks, and I will be checking on this thread to see how you girls are progressing and wishing all of us the best of luck!

MayC, we haven't forgotten about you, and hope that this month will give u lots of rest and make u well prepared for your next cycle of FET!!!

Adrianna, let us know after your 1st scan, and good luck!
 
hi hkiegal - eight cell is good. one of the requirements for a "good grade" embryo is that it divides evenly. an eight cell is better than a nine cell. we did ICSI as well.

glad there were seven good quality embryos to freeze, that's wonderful. i hope you feel a lot of peace and the 2ww passes smoothly. feel free to vent or analyze any possible symptom or non symptom!

adrianna, waiting to hear from you, and may, getting excited about your next cycle.
 
Hkiegal I was thinking of you and I am very happy for you! It's a very good result and hope that, in 2 weeks, you'll have even bigger news!
Tomorrow I have my first scan after these 5 days of injections, so I will be able to tell you something new. Good luck to all of us!
 
Hi girls! I went for my scan today, after 5 days of jabs. During the scan, the doctor said I have 3 follicles on one ovary and 3-4 (maybe more) on the other, still small sizes. So she prescribed me Gonal F of 450 IU ( I was on Gonal 300 IU) and started the other injections (for stopping an eventual spontaneous ovulation) which I cannot remember the name (cause I choose to make them in the hospital). These for today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. On Thursday I will have the blood test and another scan and maybe on 14th of March the ER. What do you thing about it?
Wish luck to everybody!
 
Hi Adrianna
It's brilliant if you don't have side effects...especially since as your scan shows you are obviously producing follicles.

The tentative ER date of 14 March makes sense. You will have a couple of blood tests to monitor your estrogen levels and scans to check that there are no dominant follicles.

Everything sounds fantastic. Looking forward to your next update.
 
Thank you MayC. A hug for your daughter! I really really hope in...baby dust to all of us!
Take care, you too....
Liquorice, are you OK?
 
Hi lovie
Dominant follicles are when you have one or two follicles that are bigger than the smaller ones.
Why you don't want one dominant follicle is: *from INCIID

Follicles grow 1 to 2 mm a day both while taking ovulatory stimulants and after the HCG shot.


Follicles generally need to be at least 15-16 mm to contain fertilizable eggs. If the smaller follicles are close in size to the lead, they may "catch up" and release. Otherwise, most likely only the lead follicle will ovulate.

So a dominant follicle means fewer eggs.
Your dr is very experienced in adjusting your meds to make sure the follicles grow together. It's very early days yet, you're responding really well!!!

Sorry that you're feeling tired though. That's definitely a side effect. Hang in there.
